Business Computing World – UK Resilience: Does It Measure Up Against Other Countries?
Business resilience planning can be the difference between success and failure. Undoubtedly, resilience plays a key role in an organisation’s survival, but how resilient is the UK? And are we able to compete with our neighbouring countries?
The most obvious worry for UK resilience is what many see as an over-reliance on London. The capital serves as the UK’s networking hub; all domestic and international carriers have a substantial presence in the city.
Clearly, the reliance on London to play such a pivotal role in providing communication means that any localised disruption such as flooding, power cuts or terrorist attacks, etc, could have a substantial impact on the UK’s ability to operate amongst businesses.

Cibenix, the Mobile app developer finds SunGard the perfect Cloud IaaS host
Innovative mobile application developer Cibenix (www.cibenix.com) needed a cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) hosting provider it could rely on to ensure uninterrupted service for an application (‘app’) developed for a leading mobile phone operator. This is one of the mobile operator’s most high profile services, providing access to popular applications and mobile internet sites such as Skype, Facebook, YouTube and the BBC, as well as account information. Continuous availability is critical and Cibenix needed a cloud IaaS partner it could trust.
“Our customers rely on the services we provide every day of the year. Downtime is unthinkable.”
Brian Egan, chief operations officer, Cibenix

Cloud Computing in the Public Sector: The Way Forward
The ABC and even G of Cloud Computing for the Public Sector
Date: Tuesday 21st February
Location:The Royal Society of Medicine, 1 Wimpole Street, London W1G 0AE
This forum will provide delegates with a timely update of government policies and the opportunity for all to examine and discuss how this strategy will be implemented.
We also have a 20 minute speaker slot which Simon Withers is holding at 1.40pm – 2pm.
Session Synopsis: Since Labour published the government’s long-term ICT strategy in the Journey to Digital Government paper back in 2009, which included the government’s ‘G Cloud’ initiative, cloud computing has gone back to the top of the government’s IT agenda. This session will look at the case for adopting cloud services and how to build a leaner IT function around such services. Cloud is not the be all and end all but it will no doubt have an impact on your IT function in the not too distant future. The immediate future requires you to be both resilient and flexible with 2012 set to be a year of disruptions with large scale public events, additional public holidays and harsher weather; we will also explore the solutions and best practice that will enable you to keep your workforce and IT running.
